Hi can anyone suggest an alternative tool for apktool. It just doesn't work for me. Whatever I do either gives compiling errors or just a bootloop. Thanks guys.
It's nice to know I'm not the only one. Anything past extract optimize and zip is useless for me. I have never had it actually compile an .apk without an error.
I'm having serious problems compiling the framework-res from a CM6.1 based ROM. It decompiles fine, but won't recompile I get hundreds of errors about missing referances.
I only wanna edit a few XML's :sad:

Which xmls do you want to edit, and what are you wanting to change?

Thanks for replying, but I worked it out. I had some dodgy .9.png's that were breaking the compile, so I just had to remove them before compiling.
For anyone else having trouble, check the logs after you decompile to see if there are any messages about .9.pngs. If there are, remove them from the decompiled folder, compile when you are finished, then just add the .9.png's back in afterwards with WinRAR.
I was tryna change the color of the text and the border in the bottom popup menu for my Gingerbread theme

The reason that happens is the original "dev" who themed the framework did not decompile/modify/recompile. He merely dragged and dropped the modified .9.png
Hence when u decompile, apktool cannot find the necessarry data within resources.arsc to decompile the .9.png and hence when u go to recompile, it complains. Ur safest bet is to always decompile an apk as close to stock as possible.
Where do you place your framework-res.apk I placed mine in the platform tools folder but apktool can not find it
Does anyone know how to change system font color? It would be awsome if someone could figure it out or knew how to already. Im on Fasty 2.5 if that means anything lol.
you need apk manager to decompile framework-res.apk to get to the
the xmls and you will need notepad++ to edit them.
they are located here: framework-res.apk/res/color/
zzz_tw_primary_text_dark
zzz_tw_primary_text_light
zzz_tw_secondary_text_sub
